Tutorial: Matilde beats programming

Original TB-303 fills it's memory with random patterns when the batteries are taken out of it and put back. Some old acid house tracks have born this way.

You can simulate this by making an empty pattern in any of the fine 303 style gens and randomizing the note column and the accent columnand the slide column with ctrl+r. It's not the same as a real TB-303 (the note range is too wide) but you can get some really wicked sounds like that. - Elektroj?nis

Matilde beats programming	Date: 2003-12-16	Author: noolout	Viewed 8212 times
Just a little demo to show what can be done programming in some beats with a matilde for drumloops - using: 01- p.up 02- p.down 09 - offset 11 - loop fit E8 - reverse E9 - retrig and others ...in two columns... and using the sequencer at step 64 - shift gry +/- on f4 will change step i could have also done this in other ways - looper 2 - cutting up the beats into quarters or eighths,etc and just adding to the wavtable - cutting up the beats and adding to a single wav in the wavtable by assigning different root notes (slice 1 is c4, slice2 is d4, slice3 is e4, etc) - this last one never really made sense to me but this works pretty good, loopfit is quite nice ;) this is an extreme example Nool

That's cool! I've been wondering how to do stuff like that for ages and now I know . . . maybe . . . have to study it exhaustively and p'raps learn something. Maybe I won't have to feel quite so humbled next time I listen to Venetian Snares or the like! Thanks for that :) Is it worth trying to do stuff like this with individual drum hits or is it generally easier using a drumloop? 2003-12-16 by etruscan

I know it's still beta, and I hate to say anything against Matilde Tracker, but Unwieldy Tracker really kicks it's ass. It completely blurs the line between timestreching and retriggering (which are pretty much the same anyway), it has multiouts, sample randomize/humanize and can load 32 bit wav files. Pretty much every feature I can think of is included, except maybe volume slide. 2003-12-17 by wizenwet

Good job, Nooly. ;D 2003-12-17 by Hamsteralliance

dude, awesome. one of the best i heard so far. bit chaotic but still fckin a 2003-12-18 by bigears

Sorry, but how do i get a FSM Philthy ? Bad enough that half of the files don't work because there is no Rout 909 around... And now don't say "All Effects -> FSM -> ...", because i already clicked there, and other than all other effects, it doesn't work. 2003-12-20 by Spiritcatcher

Spirit: do you see the search box at the top right of the site? When you type "Philthy" there, you'll be able to download FSM Philthy. For the 909, check google...or search the messageboard here. I think there will be a download link around. 2003-12-20 by mva

Sorry, but the Machine Search takes me to the same link as the entry in the All Effects list... which doesn't work. What makes this link different from the others in the list ? Never had this problem before. 2003-12-22 by Spiritcatcher

it's true, i've also encountered this problem. i have the newest phility version, and it crashes the instant i open a song that uses it also older versions crash. about the 909, that should be pretty easy to find... included in most big packs afaik 2004-03-04 by gabberboy (Voted 10 for this review!)

philthy - crashes ? ... it works really well here for a long time, as does all of FSM's machines .... the 909 is available via google search rather readily :) 2004-03-09 by noolout (Voted 9 for this review!)

(Offtopic) wizenwet: do you have any 32bit samples? i am wondering where to get those.. im interested especially old drum machine samples..like tr serie, but others too. 2004-07-13 by yugae (Voted 5 for this review!)

32 bit samples which now load into the cyanphase overloader's wavetable enhacement and triggerable with fuzzpilz unwieldy utracker :) Wikked Phresha 2004-08-06 by noolout (Voted 5 for this review!)
